Chapter 25：CHAPTER 25: ARE YOU ASKING ME ON A DATE?

COLTON

This is not me at all, inviting her to have dinner with me. I erased those thoughts of inviting a woman to have dinner with me if it is not business related but guess what I did a while ago. 

It slipped in my mind when it comes to her. Well, there is nothing wrong having dinner with her, we are just friends.

We ended up to an Italian Restaurant since I asked her where she wanted to eat. I let her choose because I know pregnant women sometimes were choosy. She was hesitated at first but I insisted and here we are. 

The waiter took our orders and left. I keep on glancing at her, studying her appearance. Why on earth she chose to be covered with some thick eyebrows which I knew it was not her natural brows. Even wearing eyeglasses, she can use contact lens just as I met her in the event. 

She cleared her throat and my eyes met hers. "Is there something wrong with my face?" she asked politely.

She caught me again staring at her longer. "Would you like to go out with me?" I asked out of the blue which is not what I am going to say. Nevertheless, I already said it loud so I guess there is no turning back my words.

I am still looking at her, she seem shocked blinking in her eyes. "A-are you asking me on a date?" she asked back with a doubtful in her eyes. 

I nodded. "Yes, I am asking you to go out with me on a date. Well, considered this as a dinner date but I want to invite you again."

She laughed silently then rubbed her tummy looking at me. "Are you even serious? Asking me for a date, a bachelor in the city asking a woman who is pregnant in front of you a DATE, really?" she shook her head. "Why?"

"Why not?" I said.

"Are you making fun of me, Colton?" she said, raised her eyebrows. I looked straight in her eyes she has a beautiful eyes. "I am pregnant for Christ's sake with other man."

I got hurt in my heart when she said other man is the father of our baby. I calmed myself I know she just said that because she thinks I do not know about her secret.

"No, why are you saying I am making fun of you. What is wrong if I date a pregnant woman?" I stared at her. She did not say another word because our foods came in. We ate in silent, I still watched her in every move. I know she was thinking because of her silence.

I do not know what came unto me and I said that a while ago. It never my intention, it just came out unexpectedly since we were in her office inviting her for dinner then asking her on a date with me. Her as a pregnant woman, I know she has some doubtful of my intention but I will not go back with my words.

I wanted to be there for them and for her all the way. From what I discovered this day was just a plus knowing she was that person who unleashed my feelings again.
